History & Status of the Fishery
Middle Cormorant is a 366-acre lake located in western Becker County. It currently has a navigable connection to upstream Nelson and Upper Cormorant Lakes and a non-navigable connection to downstream Big Cormorant Lake. This lake is ecologically well-suited to Largemouth Bass, panfish, and Northern Pike. Good Walleye spawning habitat is scarce in Middle Cormorant, but immigration is possible from the other connected lakes. The modest Walleye fishery is sustained primarily by a combination of immigration and regular stocking.
Walleyes sampled in 2014 averaged a healthy 2.6 pounds each. Northern Pike were more abundant with an identical average weight of 2.6 pounds but some pike over 30 inches were also found.
Bluegill trap net catches were lower than those in past studies but gill net catches were relatively high indicating that fish were occupying deep water during the August survey. The numbers of large Bluegill (over 8.0 inches) in Middle Cormorant were up in 2014 compared to the recent past, but not as abundant as in assessments conducted during the 1960's and 1970's. Approximately one of every five Bluegills sampled by gill nets in 2014 was over eight inches in length.
The diverse fish community in Middle Cormorant currently reflects relatively good water quality. There are very few Black Bullheads. There is an average population of larger than normal Walleyes in the lake compared to ecologically similar lakes. There are good numbers of small Northern Pike and Bluegill. Anglers can help increase the average size of these species by releasing Bluegills over seven inches and Northern Pike over 24 inches. Other fish species found in this lake include Black Crappie, Yellow Perch, Yellow Bullhead, Brown Bullhead, hybrid sunfish, Green Sunfish, Pumpkinseed, White Sucker, Common Carp, and Rock Bass. Smallmouth Bass were also found during past studies but none have been sampled since 1977. This species is known to inhabit Big Cormorant which is the next lake downstream in the chain.
Middle Cormorant is a relatively small lake with heavy shoreline development. Shoreline owners and other watershed dwellers are encouraged to use wise land management practices that will help protect the water quality, fish populations, and property values.
